[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Yang Younggyu, Chief of Gwangju Western Fire Station, conducted an inspection of fire safety management at the Kia Motors factory site.

According to the Western Fire Station on the 12th, the Kia Motors factory is located near the fire station, providing good conditions for emergency access, but it is situated near the comprehensive bus terminal, making access difficult during traffic congestion.

Additionally, due to the handling of large quantities of hazardous materials in the vehicle paint factory, there is a risk of a major fire expanding in the event of a fire, requiring preparedness.

On that day, Chief Yang inspected the safety management status by guiding improvements on fire vulnerability factors in major work processes by factory, spreading major fire cases in large factories and urging thorough fire prevention, and listening to difficulties and suggestions through interviews with factory managers and related personnel.

Chief Yang stated, “Not only for the Kia Motors factory but also for all large facilities where significant damage is expected in the event of a fire, we will do our best to create a safe environment through thorough inspection and management.”
